Retirees in These 13 States Risk Losing Some of Their Social Security Checks
For many older Americans, Social Security benefits can make or break retirement. The average retiree collects around $1,657 per month in benefits, according to the Social Security Administration, which can go a long way. Your benefits are subject to both state and federal taxes, and how much you'll owe -- or whether you have to pay taxes on Social Security at all -- will depend on where you live as well as your income.
